Holistic Practice in Healthcare The Burford NDU Person-centred Model

Make holistic and person-centred practice a lived reality in any practice setting, improving patient care through application of the Burford NDU model

Holistic Practice in Healthcare is the 30th anniversary review and development of a holistic model that enables practitioners, organisations, and educators to unleash their therapeutic potential and deliver patient-centred care. This model gives structure and direction to practice in a range of practice settings, and includes information on:

• Systems for tuning practitioners into the holistic vision, communicating holistic practice, and organising delivery of holistic practice
• Systems for enabling practitioners to realise holistic practice and to live and ensure holistic quality
• Reflections from primary and associate nurses on using this holistic model at Burford and the Oxford Community Hospital, and on applying the model in an acute medical unit, community setting, and hospice setting
• Establishing a learning culture to support holistic practice through leadership
• Contributions from professors Jean Watson and Brendan McCormack, highlighting the essential significance of holistic practice in the modern world

Providing key insight from practitioners of the Burford NDU model, Holistic Practice in Healthcare is an essential resource for all nurses and healthcare professionals looking to become holistic practitioners.
